Clock In and Clock Out Time Rounding Rules – VeriClock

Learn how to configure clock in and clock out time rounding in VeriClock to align time entries with payroll rules. This guide explains how to round time up, down, or to the nearest interval, apply rounding to first or last punches of the day, and understand how rounded time appears in payroll reports while preserving actual clock times in activity views.

The Clock In and/or Out time can be set to be rounded to the nearest, up, or down number of minutes of your choosing:

To enable rounding:

1. Click on Tabs: Settings > Time > Time Adjustment > Rounding

2. Under Round Clock In Time choose from the first drop down menu: Nearest, Up, or Down

3. In the next drop down menu under Round Clock In Time choose where you want to round to: Don’t Round, Minutes, Half Hour, or Hour

4. Rounding rules for clock in can be enabled with Only round first clock in of the day. If this option is checked, then only the first clock in of the day will have the clock in rounding rules applied, and all later clock ins of the day will not be rounded.

5. From the first drop down menu under Round Clock Out Time choose: Nearest, Up, or Down.

6. In the next drop down menu under Round Clock Out Time choose where you want to round to: Don’t Round, Minutes, Half Hour, or Hour.

7. Rounding rules for clock out can be enabled with Only round last clock out of the day. If this option is checked, then only the last clock out of the day will have the clock out rounding rules applied, and all earlier clock outs of the day will not be rounded.

8. Press the blue Save button at the bottom of the screen.

*Note:

1. This setting will apply to all employees and all time events.

2. The effect of rounding will NOT show up in Activity View. Activity View will show actual clock in and clock out times. The rounded time will show up in Reports. (See Below)
